The 2018 season is starting to form an eerily familiar narrative.
Heading into a crucial matchup with their most hated rival http://www.baltimoreravensteamauthentic....cco-jersey , the Baltimore Ravens have dropped two straight games and leave much to be desired with their 4-4 record. A story arc in which the Ravens narrowly miss a wild card berth, left to draft just between the full rebuild franchises and the teams on the cusp of breaking through in 2019. Call it pessimism or realism, but the Ravens front office has floundered in the years since sending Ray Lewis into retirement with a Super Bowl ring. With just a singular postseason victory since hoisting the Lombardi almost five years ago, the Ravens have faded into the background of the NFL landscape. Attempting to infuse hope into a disgruntled and disappointed fan base, Baltimore has cycled through coordinators and continuously made humble but strategic additions to try to revive Joe Flacco’s tenure as the franchise quarterback. After becoming Super Bowl MVP, Flacco received an inflated contract that has proven to be more of a crippling cap constraint than an worthwhile investment for the organization. In drafting Lamar Jackson in April, the Ravens followed their own ineffective playbook. The move was just bold enough to bring excitement and speculation into Baltimore’s offseason. However, questions about Jackson’s ability to become an NFL-caliber quarterback kept the status quo, never truly threatening Flacco’s position on the depth chart. Time and time again, Baltimore has flirted with dramatic change only to make incremental tweaks to a team that has failed to make any real noise since 2014. In a league that is defined by parity, rapid change and evolving strategy, to be stagnant is to become inconsequential. The Ravens have not finished with double digit wins in three seasons, yet have won just enough contests to push them down draft boards. In the last four drafts http://www.baltimoreravensteamauthentic....nda-jersey , Baltimore has selected in the top 10 just once, drafting Ronnie Stanley with the sixth overall pick in 2016. In that same draft, the currently undefeated Los Angeles Rams traded up to select Jared Goff and the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles did the same to pick Carson Wentz. More aggressive franchises have rebuilt their rosters, transformed their coaching staff and revamped their front office personnel. In contrast, Baltimore has attempted to lean on their trademark defense without success. Ravens Rankings 2015-2018YearTotal Offense Rank (YPG) Total Defense Rank (YPG) YearTotal Offense Rank (YPG) Total Defense Rank (YPG) Through eight games, the Ravens have improved compared to prior years, yet find themselves on the fringe entering a season-defining home game against the Steelers. If the Ravens fall short on Sunday, Baltimore will have a losing record and just one divisional victory on the year. With the AFC West likely to have two postseason representatives in the Chiefs and Chargers, the Ravens will be in familiar territory, fighting until the waning seconds of Week 17 to clinch that final wild card spot. If Baltimore fails to reach the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year, it is hard to envision a scenario where John Harbaugh keeps his job. With Eric DeCosta set to take over for Ozzie Newsome in 2019, the timing would be optimal for the new general manager to start positioning the franchise in an entirely new direction.Fantasy Football: Waiver Wire Adds for Week 3 QB: Ryan Fitzpatrick, Tampa Bay BuccaneersWeeks 1 & 2: 819 Yards Womens Brandon Williams Jersey , 8 TD, 1 INT, 72.3 PTS, QB1Availability: 68.3 %The Fitzmagic is for real. After taking down two of the top four teams from the NFC in 2017, the Buccaneers hot start is no fluke. The Harvard alumnus in the pocket has thrown for 400+ yards and four touchdowns in each of the first two games. Ryan Fitzpatrick has elevated the entire aerial attack by building a rapport with deep-threat DeSean Jackson, as well as incorporating O.J. Howard into the mix. Photo by Mike Ehrmann/Getty ImagesQB: Blake Bortles, Jacksonville JaguarsWeek 2: 377 Yards, 4 TD, 1 INT, 32.6 PTSAvailability: 89.8 %After taking down New England and Tom Brady, Blake Bortles is turning quite a few heads. A standout performance in Week 2 despite the absence of star bell-cow Leonard Fournette due to a hamstring injury required the veteran signal caller to target his young second-year receivers in Dede Westbrook and Keelan Cole. Jacksonville’s defense is already a household name, but if the other side can get going, watch out.Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY SportsRB: Corey Clement Authentic Patrick Onwuasor Jersey , Philadelphia EaglesWeek 2: 30 Rushing Yards, 1 Rushing TD, 5 Receptions, 55 Receiving Yards, 19.5 PTSAvailability: 77.4 %One of my favorite sleepers going into the new campaign finally took charge on Sunday afternoon despite a disappointing overall team performance. With the absence of veteran third-down back Darren Sproles, Corey Clement finished with 19.5 PTS in PPR scoring after reaching the end zone. He needs to be rostered in all leagues.Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty ImagesWR: Keelan Cole, Jacksonville JaguarsWeek 2: 7 Receptions, 116 Yards, 1 TD, 24.6 PTSAvailability: 51.5 %Another one of my favorite names from the end of last season, Keelan Cole put up what should remain as the catch of the year in the Jaguars’ drubbing of Bill Belichick’s brainchild in Florida on Sunday afternoon. Although both Cole and Dede Westbrook had excellent showings, Cole is the receiver you want for the foreseeable future.Reinhold Matay-USA TODAY SportsWR: Tyler Boyd, Cincinnati BengalsWeek 2: 6 Receptions Authentic Alex Collins Jersey , 91 Yards, 1 TD, 21.1 PTSAvailability: 98.8 %Tyler Boyd finally came alive on Thursday Night Football in the shadow of A.J. Green’s monster three-TD outing. Boyd showed the flashes of being a second option that Andy Dalton hasn’t had since Mohamed Sanu. Definitely keep an eye on Boyd to see if he continues his stellar play into the third week of the season.Aaron Doster-USA TODAY SportsWR: Calvin Ridley, Atlanta FalconsWeek 2: 4 Receptions, 64 Yards, 1 TD, 16.7 PTSAvailability: 63%With all of the question marks regarding Steve Sarkisian’s red-zone offense to begin the season, take note of rookie wide-out Calvin Ridley. The former member of the Alabama Crimson Tide was regarded as the best receiver in the 2018 draft class. With the injury to Devonta Freeman and Julio Jones’ issues with the end zone, Ridley could emerge as a weekly flex option with upside through the roof.Jason Getz-USA TODAY SportsWR: John Brown, Baltimore RavensWeeks 1 & 2: 7 Receptions, 136 Yards, 2 TD, 32.7 PTS Womens Willie Snead IV Jersey , WR23Availability: 75.9 %John Brown has been the best player on the field for the Baltimore Ravens statistically through the first two weeks of the season. The speedster from Div. II Pittsburgh St. by way of the Arizona Cardinals has been nothing short of extraordinary for John Harbaugh in a crucial year for the Baltimore Ravens. Let it be known that the two secondaries he’s faced in Buffalo and in Cincinnati aren’t what I’d consider the cream of the crop, but he needs to be on your bench if he hasn’t already been scooped up. A match-up with the 2-0 Denver Broncos this week should prove to be a great opportunity to see if Brown torches poor defensive backs, or if the newly signed deep threat is for real.Aaron Doster-USA TODAY SportsTE: O.J. Howard, Tampa Bay Buccaneers Week 2: 3 Receptions, 96 Yards, 1 TD, 18.6 PTSAvailability: 78.4 %Man, have I been impressed of what I’ve seen out of the second-year tight end out of Tuscaloosa. O.J. Howard, despite a low target share, has been absolutely sensational. If Cameron Brate continues to put up duds week after week, Howard will finish as a top-7 TE.Jonathan Dyer-USA TODAY Sports
